I've been getting more 'butt time' in on my bike - the road bike now, instead of the exercise bike. While spending some (not enough!) time on the exercise bike over the winter DID do a lot for my legs and lungs ... my ass now has to adjust to a different, narrower, seat and to the bumps in the road. I am looking forward not only to biking to and from the closer store again soon but to my butt not complaining for days afterwards. My legs and lungs are ready for the trip now, even with the hills. My sweet butt is not. Of course, the closer store has some of the highest food prices of the stores in the general area. I mostly go to that store for things that they have on loss-leader specials, especially if I can use coupons while there. This past week was one of those weeks! The BBQ sauce the family likes to use for a 'baked on' sauce was BOGO AND I had coupons. It brought the price down to 40 cents a bottle. I got 4 bottles. And each bottle had a coupon for "If you buy two bottles, you get $2 off of Kool-Aid," which was ALSO on sale. The Chubby Hubby likes to drink the Purple flavor (grape flavor it is NOT) so I got two of those for $1 each. I also got worceshire sauce for 20 cents, using a sale plus a doubled coupon.
My plan is to start going to the local store by bike only, not car, by next week. And my further plan is to bike to and from the 10 mile away less expensive stores .... as soon as possible. May the Gods grant that my bike and I haul home lots of equally good bargains over the next year!

Diet/Fitness Update
Blessings Darlings!
Well .... uh .... you see ..... I'm starting over on this diet/fitness stuff. I let it go, again. I'm calling it another practice round. This time will be for real! Yeah, that's the ticket.
Weight is up. Endurance down. Don't know what's gong on with blood pressure. I assume my cholesterol and triglycerides are at their usual high levels.
Today I ate well and got back to beginning levels of exercise. Still HATE HATE HATE to exercise. Still don't have the knees or endurance to bike to the store instead of using exercise bike. Current plan is to walk tomorrow.
I've been meaning to take some psyllium fiber supplements before meals, but keep forgetting to do that. It's not only supposed to help you feel fuller but also block absorption of dietary cholesterol. OTOH, my cholesterol and triglyceride issues are not just diet but also genetics. Still, it's something to try that's cheap and doesn't have a litany of bad side effects. Unlike most of the cholesterol drugs on the market.
That's what's up here today.
